It is uncertain as to whether or not this tree is currently being utilized - the timber is of good quality. Podocarpus smithii's extent of occurrence and area of occupancy fall well below the thresholds for Endangered, and there is no evidence for ongoing decline. Recent collecting has turned up specimens from previously unknown and unsuspected localities and further inventories are likely to produce new localities. However, it is acknowledged that the species is rare in its habitat. Despite this, without ongoing decline being plausible, it does not meet the criteria for a threatened category. The plant is classified as 'Least Concern' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species(2013)[ 338 Title IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Publication Author Website http://www.iucnredlist.org/ Publisher Year 0 ISBN Description A list of plants under threat and facing possible extinction, usually with brief details of the threats and information on habitat. ].
